How to deal with fcukwits on SM?....i have done a bit on the web over time and won't post the link relevant to the paragraphs below (Bold is original but i have been prudent with the language)...be careful of the fcukwit!
"Let's get one thing clear right away - 'Fcukwit' is no more swearing than 'Scunthorpe' or 'Penistone'.
Regardless of its origins, the term 'fcukwit' has now become a newsgroup term for someone who repeatedly and consistantly proves themselves totally impervious to clue, 'clue' being defined as knowledge, enlightenment, advice.
The Fcukwit website (now defunct, unfortunately) described them as "those sad, strange or egocentric people; who after having had some education on technical, custom or procedural points simply fail to absorb the advice. They fail to understand or accept the clues offered.
"Isn't 'fcukwit' just a ruder way of calling someone stupid?
Not necessarily. While stupidity is certainly a component of fcukwittery, someone can be stupid but still accept clue when it is offered.
The alarm bells should ring at this point.
To quote from the original Fcukwit FAQ - "Because of this inability to receive clue, most fcukwits actually believe that they are being stylish and amusing when they aren't. Which is one of the major factors that predisposes a person to fcukwittedness."
Anyway, you now know that what you are dealing with is no longer mere stupidity but is either a deliberate troll or a full-blown fcukwit.
What is the correct method of dealing with a proven fcukwit?
Once it has become clear that this is someone utterly impervious to clue, they should be ignored from then on. If necessary, put them in a killfile. But arguing with them will be completely pointless. There is an old saying - "Never try to teach a pig to sing, it just wastes your time and annoys the pig."
And another - "If you wrestle with a pig in mud you both get dirty - and the pig likes it."
